The following are but a few extracts from many reviews received on Poems of the Town. Among this chorus of praise there has not been one dissenting voice.
"For terse English, for picturesque and appropriate imagery, for keen and faithful portraiture Mr. McGaffey has no superior. And there will be many to say that this book entitles him to recognition as the interpreter of his age."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"It is doubtful if any American poet has written a finer, more humane, more nobly and righteously wrathful outburst against the maladies of civilization than the poem in this collection entitled Laocoon of the Town."—St. Louis Mirror.
"His lyrics have that touch of universality which distinguishes true poetry from mere verse. It is not too much to say that Poems of the Town are certain to take a place among the best examples of American poetry."—Editorial Chicago Chronicle.
